Stupid little things that bug you

I've only recently been introduced to this nonsense, since I took early retirement. Luckily, the wife still works three days a week, and we usually arrange something better on our joint weekdays off. I try and blank it from my consciousness and catch up on Bluemoon when it's on.
You expect us to believe this
 
People who pronounce "dissect" as "di-sect". You don't di-solve sugar in hot tea, or get booked for di-sent.

These thickos are mixing it up with "bisect" (cut into two). It's dis-sect (cut apart into bits).

Sect = cutting. Bi - two. Dis = apart, in pieces

Thank you.
Indeed!

And people who say RE-search instead of research
 
People reviewing pubs or restaurants who use the word "amazing" all the time.

The staff were amazing. The chips were amazing.

I even read recently "The mash was amazing."

I've never been amazed by chips, let alone mash. I feel like advising these people to find synonyms for "very good".

As in Roget's Thesaurus.
